National Geographic – Photography Contest 2010 | Images

Every year, National Geographic holds a photography contest for budding and professional photographers, and the results indeed do exemplify how a picture is worth a thousand words. These are brilliant images that have skipped through the human cognitive need for language, and went straight ahead to evoke emotions that perhaps, even the most loquacious of us can’t put into words. This year, the submissions deadline will be closing really soon on November 30, and National Geographic had shared some images with Boston.com and gave us a sneak peek into what we can expect from the men and women with lenses this year. Check out a sampling of the images which ranges from sports to nature, and if you do want to compete for the $10,000 prize, you still have time to pick up your camera and capture your own moments.
